Okay, since the other laptop is working on your wireless laptop then it means that the router is definitely working. When you tried viewing the available networks using your belkin wireless adapter which icon did you use? Is the one from belkin or the the Icon at the task bar that says wireless connection?

It sounds like the router address is wrong or you are not connected to the network.. Guessing you are using Windows XP or Vista. Go to the DOS prompt (http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chdos.htm) then type ipconfig. This will bring up details on your network (see example below).

You should see default gateway address which is the address of your router ie 192.168.2.1 in your example. If this is not shown you have not connected to your router properly. If it shows a different address use the address shown to try and access your router. HTH
